come on!

Attaboy AJ. Lets please move him over and knock him. Come the A,B,Cs of baseball right here.

Here's a tip for our offense. We don't need the home run, lets take walks and get bases hits, dont try and hit a homer.

Hawk, please stop sayin 36, 000 fans to their feet? There aren't even half that in the stadium. But Aardsma way to earn yourself a pay check. now we still have to go out there and score.

AARDSMA, one more buddy.

Aarsma, way to go after the hitter. Its amazin what you can accomplish if you pitch strikes.

Ozzie brings in Aarsma with bases loaded, nobody out. Wonder how this ends up? Maybe only two runs will be given up.

So far: bullpen sucks, starters give up lots of runs, runs being scored mainly via the HR, wow, it looks like nothing has changed.

My god, Erstad, hit the cutoff man. Now, you let Martinez get to second.

man, i kinda wish Pablo could pinch run for Thome, but that aint gonna happen. Betancourt and Martinez is a bad combination to throw somebody out stealing.

We are getting a nice strike zone right now, please make it play.

Let Erstad steal again?

f***

our bullpen is quickily showing its weakness: the freepass. get used to it, with good arms comes walks unless you are amazin like Joe Nathan.

ok, where is Boone Logan?

I like this alot better, get Jon out of there. Last year Oz was too easy on pitchers, the short leash is much better.

I am predicting a solid showing for prancer, maybe a stolen base or two with Martinez behind the plate. As long as he gets on, which is hard for him I know, he should be able to run all day on Victor.

NOOOOOO NOT ENUCO!!! He was my boy.

I think that includes the total value of Thome and not what we are actually paying him and same for Vaz, so I think the numbers are slighly misleading. While our players make prolly $110 million total, we only pay around $100 million of it. I think, so correct me if I am wrong.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 10:15 PM) Opening Day Lineup: LF-Ozuna CF-Erstad DH-Thome 1B-Konerko RF-Dye 3B-Crede 2B-Iguchi C-Pierzynski SS-Uribe Not too shabby. Put Anderson in CF and move Iguchi to the 2nd spot and I am happy. Like other posters have mentioned, do not pitch to Hafner. Martinez is a good hitter, so is Sizemore, but Hafner is an elite hitter. Pitch around him, he clogs the base paths and always seems to kill us when he hits. Unless you are left-handed, you shall not give Travis Hafner a pitch near the srtike zone.

Good deal for both sides. Sox give him the three year committment and he gives the Sox a break of a million or two each year. Let's hope that's what actually happens b/c Tad is an invaluable player for us, can bat anywhere in the order, never complains (maybe cause he doesn't speak english,) gives us a solid hitter, you know what your gonna get #'s wise and fields his position. Please be true. JD s gonna be the hardest one since he has played out his contract as the biggest bargain in baseball, so noone can fault him if he wants to go get his last big payday. IF he does leave the Sox for more money, nobody should be pissed cause he came year in 2005 for less money than elsewhere and never made a stink about making $5 million per year when he clearly was worth mid teens last year.

We have not done anything to merit a high ranking in our division, so these rankings are fair. Plus, it is so much better being the hunters, not the hunted. This season is very similar to the 2005, at least the negativity. Not saying we are gonna win the world series, but the pre-season negativity is similar.

What is so funny about that muffin video? I thought it was just so stupid. Am I alone?
